Rashes on face?

Hi Dr,
I think i get pimples whenever I started to have a period. I tried to put cleocin gel on it and it became itchy. The next morning when I woke up I started to see red patchy spots around wherever I put the gel on. It also oozes. I guess it's an allergic reaction to cleocin gel. I am currently taking some benadryl and keflex. I am wondering if it would ever heal and will not have the scar. Please check out my pics here to see if there's anything I can do.

Hello,
Unfortunately I could not open the pictures but from your symptoms I understand that you are having contact dermatitis to the gel.

Avoid using any lotions and creams over the face for the meantime. Wash your face with a mild cleanser with moisturizing properties like Cetaphil. Pat your face dry. Then apply a good hypoallergenic moisturizer over the area or calamine lotion and see if this improves. If the symptoms still persist then you can apply mild steroid like dermacort.
Also take the antihistmainics that you are taking. If the symptoms persist then I suggest you to consult a dermatologist.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
